Princeton Umbria Angular Bright for Acrylics

Princeton’s new series of synthetic hair brushes (Series 6200) features an extra degree of stiffness to move and control color. Unlike natural bristles, which become soft and distorted when used in a water based medium, the bristles on these brushes retain their shape and stiffness.

Each brush features two shades of hair, seamless gold colored ferrules, and a Velvetouch handle for excellent grip and control. They can be used with heavier acrylic paints as well as oil and water based oil colors. Use the long handle brushes for easel style painting, and the short handle versions for detail work or tabletop painting.

Angular Bright — This variation on the shape of the Bright Brush is often handy for painting the upper reaches of large canvases.

Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are hand crafted, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

I bought one two years ago and now I order them every time. They help me to achieve fluid lines and they hold their shape for a long time. I have bought them as gifts for fellow artists. Princeton umbria brushes are the best and a great value.

I originally bought these brushes from Blick for acrylics work primarily because the finish on the handle looked like it was not slick (I prefer handle finishes with a bit of grab to them). I used them for acrylics and fell in love with the way they allow me to work the paint. I love them so much that I've bought another batch of these brushes for use in my oil work. These have supplanted my much more expensive brushes as my go-to brushes. Easy to clean and they hold their shape well. Very highly recommended.

I bought a filbert size 4 and tried it out on a portrait of my girlfriend using oil paints. It handled great and really held its shape throughout and cleaned like a breeze! I used it for large areas of color and for delicate details such as eyelashes and lip detail. I love Princeton brushes and I own pretty much every 6300 series brush but this series has captured my heart and I will be purchasing more from this series! Great brush!
